There is a renewed push to ban TikTok due to concerns about propaganda and national security risks. TikTok is being flooded with anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian content, which is believed to be a major driver of the surge in antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment among the youth. The popularity of pro-Palestine content on TikTok is primarily driven by users in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, while U.S. consumption on the platform is split between both sides. TikTok has been accused of favoring #Israel over #Palestine in its trending section. Senator Josh Hawley has called for a TikTok ban, citing alleged anti-Israel content and the app's ties to the Chinese government.
